Tips and Tricks to get the best Holden Beach vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your rental home in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing and booking the rightrental home:

• Start by having your group agree to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Marsh Mellowed by the Sea at Holden Beach, Privated heated pool and beach access has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach destination you love, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the rental manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
